Oh thanks for the prompt reply, will overclocking failure reflect rejected?

Not sure if this was discussed before, I didn't find anything on my 5 seconds search. I needed to use ssl for remote miners and while bitcoind now supports that out of the box, poclbm didn't seem to, at least not the version I was using (and I'm too lazy to try and upgrade a perfectly running system) so here's a patch to allow for that. Patch is for BitcoinMiner.py and you just supply the host part with 'https://' prefix to make it use ssl.

Using SDK 2.2 instead of 2.3 or 2.4, I still get 2 cores put to 100% load using a HD 5870 and HD 5670 on Win7.

For the meanwhile anyone with this problem can set CPU affinity to only 1 (same for all) core for all poclbm processes so only one core is fully loaded, that way less electricity is used and less heat is made until a proper solution arises.. it doesn't seem to effect hash rate at all.

Still have the CTRL+c error


Doesn't look like a graceful shutdown to me

how do i run it on mac?

Oddly, now it's working fine for me with b981138.

This is what I had to do.

Download and install Xcode

Install MacPorts from: http://www.macports.org/install.php

Install the dependences for poclbm. This step may take a long time while it downloads and compiles stuff:

sudo port install py26-pyopencl

Download the sources for m0mchil-poclbm, from https://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm

then open a terminal and extract it, and give it a try.

mkdir Bitcoin
cd Bitcoin
tar zxvf ~/Downloads/m0mchil-poclbm-b981138.tar
cd m0mchil-poclbm-b981138/
python2.6 poclbm.py -d 0 -o yourfavoriteminer -p 8332 -u user@example.com --pass=something

Be aware, that for what ever reason, OS X is FAR slower for mining than Linux or Windows. I run this on a Mac Pro with a pair of ATI Radeon HD 5770s. In OS X I get about 65Mhash/s on one and 95Mhash/s on the other. I installed  Ubuntu 10.10 and boot into it through Bootcamp. There I get 170Mhash/s on each card, over 2x the performance.

That is Thai for Thank you very much

You shouldn't have to if you use -f.  Try adding -f 120 to the command line and play a game.  The game framerate will be just slightly degraded; I don't usually notice a difference.  If you have dual monitors and put the miner on the one you don't use for gaming, you'll notice that the hashrate will drop dramatically while you play.  Basically it will be using the extra GPU cycles that the game is idle during.

Anywhere, so long as you don't separate another switch and its argument.  The end is a good place to put it if you want to be sure.
